Now we could go on in this way and tel

All! here is the trouble. Because man

while a man of mediocre standing is often
doubted. There are some men We are
bound to respect and il they lie, no one
must tell him of it. Why? Because he

I The Sunday Star Of Wilmindoa, -
(which is a.wcked paper according to
Some northumberland christians
makes the following remark about the
trouble in the College:
The Delaware College trouble is Il
queer one, but it is hard to see the polit-
ical aspect that $ me people ascribe to il.
1t is more off religious than political
fight, and the situation seems to be the
MelhOdisis againsls the field Of other
Professionals denominations. The only
political feature is the financial interest
of the State in the institution, and on
this point it is an open question whether
the State would not be more benefited
by the closing of the college than by
lighting to keep it in existence. One
thing is certain: If the college il to
success il must be recognized on thor
oughly non-sectarian basis.
There are lots of truth in this little
chunk
Clerks neverstrike. The wage carners
Of all occupations have their turn at
striking, but statesmen and clerks never.
Why is it The latter are on duty IL
greater number of hours per day than
any others. Their work, if not so labor
ious is more exacting and enervating
than most other callings. The supply

demand. Why is this? We have never
been able to ascertain other than the
one reason. The clerk necessarily has
white soft hands and wears nice clothes !
Has any other reason been discovered &?
Midland Journal.
There are lots of reasons. Many IL
young man goes into the mercantile bus
mess with the expectation Of making u
living and later on to go into business.
Another reason is. it is easier trade, APP
parently, to learn than others, and then
look ut the nice girls u young chap has
the chance to talk to. There are other
reasons that can be given.
If there was not so much petty jeal-
ously existing between different demon
nations who are fighting to be good
there would be better time with many
people. We have to stick to our church
and religion if we have to lie to do so.
A young lady living near Taylor's
Bridge was so anxious not to miss the
celebration of the Fourth in Smyrna that
she tied string to her foot and dropped
it out of the window to be awakened by
vigorous pull in the morning She got
to the celebration.-Smyrna Record.
Who got the foot she dropped out of
the window? Did she get vigorous
pull, or did she awaken herself? As she
got there we suppose she must have been
pulled by string, and hauled the foot
in, in the morning.
There is no change in the style Of
fishing tackle this year, except that the

1t flily made me culver when we read
the above. just think, the baby was
not there.
Croakers have appeared in market.
One thousand were caught ut Slaughter
Beach on Wednesday at one haul. News
and Advertiser.
There are lots of croakers here all the
season. lfany one should appear on the
beach, catch him.
Several of the down below papers say
nothing in regard to that once flourish
ing institution Delaware College. We
would liked to have read their views,
We understand Harrington, Del, has
the dry rot. If there is not change
made somewhere before long, Newark
will be suffering with the same disease.
The Delaware City News as yet does
not lie on our table. We wish it pros
perity.
There was some little surprise mani
tested when DIR. Caldwel's statement
appeared in Mondays Ecery Eeening,
denying that he would not serve as
President of the College. The remark
was made by DR.. Caldwell TO Il Trustee
that he would not remain rs president
with one member of the present faculty
How this question was settled is already
